Our 13 Favourite Downton Abbey Tours in England

The house is Highclere Castle in Hampshire and the village is Bampton in Oxfordshire, so almost every tour is a day out of London. These 13 differ on whether castle entry is included, and that is the whole decision.

“Big thanks to our lovely guide Rory for being so welcoming and informative, and to our driver (sorry I missed the name!) who did a great job driving - I think it was mentioned that it was her first time driving this specific route. The meeting point was easy to find, and we had plenty of time at both the village and Highclere Castle. Rory gave clear and interesting info about the filming locations, and watching Episode 1 on the way back was a lovely touch. The ride was a bit bumpy and long, but that’s to be expected. Overall, a really enjoyable experience!”

“Great day visiting the Bampton village and Highclere Castle. It was a very enjoyable day. Our tour guide Jed was informative and funny and provided interesting information about the show. Plenty of stops on the way to the castle but on the way back it is a direct drive to the original pick up point which is right next to the tube. Recommend for anyone who is a fan of the show.”
